Back! I love the responses I've gotten so far. I was worried that you wouldn't take too kindly to a story about Katniss and Prim in a relationship but I can promise the story will go forward that way! There will be more sexual tension in this chapter. Expect things to heat up in the next. After this you should read some of my other stories, like my other new story Playing Hard to Get, no one has reviewed it yet and I would really appreciate feedback. If you want a new chapter of Hunger sooner then read and review! More reviews equal more chapters! You guys are what keeps me writing! Thank you!
Katniss and Prim were eager to show their mother, maybe the berries would bring her out of her depression. Prim assisted Katniss in making the pie.
"Huge, we should make it huge!" Prim insisted.
"Well of course, this is special!" They were moving quickly, almost like their life would end if they came to a complete stop. "Sugar, Prim, sugar!"
"I'm on it!"
"How much flour do we have left?"
"Enough!"
"Salt?"
"Yes!"
"Butter?"
"Yes, Katniss!"
They almost ran into each other as they fetched a bowl and the ingredients. Katniss mixed everything into the bowl. Prim kneed the dough. "Wait, Prim! Did you wash your hands before?"
"Uh, no."
"Neither did I. Oh, well!"
Prim caught Katniss sneaking a few berries, she swatted at her hand, "Prim, what the hell?"
"Katniss! You're going to ruin the pie!"
"Am not!" Katniss said childishly, berry juice dripping down her neck and into her cleavage. Prim was oddly fascinated by this and could only imagine what it would be like to lick that off. "What are you staring at, perv?"
Prim needed a diversion, she didn't want Katniss thinking she was giving her boobs goofily eyes. "What a waste!"
"There's way more! Calm down!"
"Oh, yeah?" Prim took a berry and ate it.
"Fuck!" Prim's eyes went wide for a second, it was so strange to hear Katniss swear. "I'm going to make you pay for that, little girl!"
"Oh, yeah?" Katniss held a handful of flour, "Katniss, don't!" but Katniss did and she got it on Prim's hair and down her dress. Prim took the flour and flung it right in Katniss' face and on her cleavage. Both laughed at how much of a mess they were making, eventually Katniss got Prim pinned against the counter, she was no match for her. "That's not fair!" Prim squirmed, Katniss took hold of her wrists and for a brief moment they caught each other's stare. Both felt knots in their stomachs and a strange fluttery feeling. Had to be the berries.
They were stopped in their fun by something that sounded like the alarm for the Reaping, but that wasn't today. "What is that?"
"I don't know but we better get cleaned up!"
The girls' mother came out of her bedroom looking groggy, but that was normal these days. The mess in the kitchen barely fazed her, "Girls, you better get ready. My, what a waste."
"What's happening?" she didn't answer.
Katniss sighed, "She doesn't know, come on." They rushed into their room to get changed. Prim couldn't take her eyes off the streaks of berry on Katniss' face, it resembled war paint.
"Hey, Kitty", Katniss faced her, "You got a little something right…" she leaned in close and licked some of the berry off her face "There!" she laughed, Katniss pretended to be mad.
"You little freak!" she lifted Prim's arm where there was a long stream of berry juice that she licked partially off, Prim tried getting her arm away. Things got a little out of hand when Prim grabbed Katniss' boobs. Both stopped to look at each other, Katniss didn't approve. Prim withdrew her hands. "Whoa, Prim, what was that?"
"Nothing…I'm sorry, Katniss, it was an accident…honest" she looked up at her with those innocent brown eyes of hers, so easy to sympathize with. So manipulative.
"Let's stop fooling around and get over there."
They didn't talk until they were down at the gathering for whatever news that horn meant. Prim stood close to Katniss, scared, nervous about what this would mean. What if whatever it was, Katniss couldn't protect her? She was older and stronger.
"Muscles" Prim thought. Staring at Katniss' arms.
A loud speaker for the Capital got their attention. They didn't need a microphone to speak. He was a tall man wearing a blue suit, maybe 40's. He looked so out of place. He cheerfully announced that everyone would be taken into medical tents to be examined. There was a reported contamination in the area. No word on exactly what that might be but it was mandatory for everyone to participate. Katniss whispered to Prim, "Don't worry it's likely nothing."
There were two tents and many people were divided randomly to a tent to go to. Without warning, Prim was hauled off to one tent while Katniss was dragged off to another. "KATNISS!" Prim called out.
"Don't worry, Prim! Don't be scared!" her words trailed off as she was rushed to the second tent. Prim was sweating nervously, she couldn't have been more scared. She was mostly scared for Katniss, who really knew what could be going on in the other tent. This tent was hectic, everyone had to line up and go to a section cut off by huge white curtains from everyone else. She hated doctors. She hated people of the Capitol more than anyone or anything. Why were they keeping her from Katniss?
She was sat down in front of a smiling nurse, a young woman maybe a few years older than Katniss. A guard drew the curtain and stood outside. "Hello, young lady."
"What did you do to my sister?"
"I'm sorry?"
"Why did you take Katniss to the second tent?"
"Oh, well, we need to manage everyone we can in an orderly fashion. I assure you we had no intention of separating you."
"What is all of this?"
The young nurse "What is your name?"
"Prim. Primrose Everdeen."
"Okay, Prim. I'm going to be asking you a few questions first. Then we'll be taking a small sample of your blood." Prim hated needles but the sooner she was done here meant the sooner she was back in Katniss' arms. "First question, Prim. How are you feeling?"
"Fine."
"I'm afraid I will need a bit more than that. Are you feeling anxious? Tired?"
"Anxious."
"Did you have anything to eat today?"
"Don't mention food!"
"Uh, yes."
"Can you please tell me?"
"If I tell her the berries then she'll ask where I found them and she'll make me take them to Katniss' secret spot!"
"Not much, Bread, tea, some berries."
"What kind of berries?"
"…blue…"
The nurse paused for a second, "Alright, Prim. I'm going to need you to strip down."
Prim was shocked, "You want me to get naked?"
"That's right. I need to examine you."
This was going to be a lot harder than she thought.
More soon! Please review. Like I said, check out some of my other stories and show some love and I will get another chapter out as quick as I can!
